A bit disconcerting to hear about a cut.... Seems he is alright by the pics. Good you got it down safe Fiona. That is one big ol stump.

If you ever decide to change out the cross piece that is the part of the head that has the rubber tied on ends (sling shot head). Use a piece of rigid copper instead (probably L) and solder some 45* bends on it about 1/2 or 3/4 the distance you have now. Then solder a couple of small lengths to...

I would say "don't make me come down there" except that I really wanna say, PLEASE MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE! :lol:

Naw... Just get a line in that upper set of stout limbs 35 - 40 feet or so up and either SRT to where you wanna be or Ddrt with the spurs on and work the tree on the way up. Sounds like you ended up under the lean.

Happy you got that done safely Fiona :)

I treat large limbs that sweep up as if they were a separate tree in a manner of speaking. Make sure you have no tangles up higher and fell it out. Even attach a pull line to fell it out. Fell the vertical out and then start dropping the horizontal in manageable chunks just as you would a...

Surely it is on the ground by now...

Did I just hear something go crunch from afar? :/:

:lol:

Once that thing hits the ground, you are gonna stand there and smile and ask yourself why you were so worried about it :)

Yeah, he'd probably beat me silly :lol:

Braids were pulled so tight stuff would stand on its own :lol:

Yeah Justin, it took some getting used to.. my bubble and all that :lol: Here's a funny one for ya Willard. We were working a tree right off a driveway that had a hanger stuck up in it. So we used the throw line to try and snag it. Got the whole shebang stuck :lol: So we hitched the 2.2mm throw...

After seeing those pics that Burnam posted of D. Dent and his hand on your shoulder method, being a second set of eyes, I have employed that method a couple times with Rob when we could not just "pull em out" where hangers are concerned. So far so good, nothing has fallen. Nice to have a second...

Fiona, maybe you could also try to break out some of the hung up limbs before climbing or felling it. Shoot a throw line in and pull some of the hangers out? Might serve you well to test the tops as well.

Yeah, taking off those lower limbs should not be too bad. Stout bugger!
